Looking for an aquascaper's paradise? Cory and the Shrimp King, Chris Lukhaup visited Zoobox, a large pet and fish store in Germany that showcases tons and tons of dry goods, hardscape, botanicals, live foods, and of course, amazing fish and plants.

He also saw Mbu puffers, super red pencilfish, black ruby barbs, dark ram cichlids, bamboo shrimp, discus, true leaf fish, yellow congo tetras, and much more. Visit their website at zoobox.de.

Cory please give visit MD fish Tanks and Fish Shop Matt!!!!
The live food
Definitely the set up w/ power head for bamboo type/filter feeding shrimp was awesome! There's nothing more depressing than walking into a LFS and seeing a bunch of filter feeding shrimp trying their hardest to survive all huddled on top of a single sponge filter or wrecking their fans shifting through substrate.😭
Hey Cory, it was nice that you visited us, maybe it will happen again. Then with more time to talk. Thank you very much for your visit and this video. If you are in Germany again, you are very welcome in Remscheid!
Do you guys usually stock the Apisto Blue flames? =)
Thanks for having me. Definitely when I'm near your place again we'll make some more time to talk ;)
@@AL_EVOz.... I'm thinking that they tend to go all in on EVERYTHING , that store has more inventory in back than 10 PETSMARTS have on display 😢
The Nannacara adoketa at minute 3:25 unfortunately had a bacterial infection (this is not uncommon in wild-caught animals), hence the deformed mouth. The fish is otherwise extremely healthy and will now stay with us and perhaps live in a display aquarium.
Just a great store ❤
Just WOW! Amazing store and love the way they incorporate live plantings into all their tanks, both for display and sell-out-of tanks. And the fish selection and live food packaging is awesome sauce. Thanks for the tour! Your joy shines thru in your travel vids. Nice to see the Cory we all know has returned. Keep ‘em coming! 😊☮❤🐠🦐🪴
Why can't we have anything like that here in USA. I got into growing plants this past year and a half and true story... I am ordering from California to be shipped to Florida and they get it from Japan. My "store" for aquascaping is Amazon resellers of Japanese rocks and ADA reseller Aqua Forest Aquarium. I heard a rumor that somewhere in Orlando there is a tiny little itsy bitsy 8x8 store ran out of someone's storage unit for aquascaping. Watching this walkthrough is like drooling over home depot while stuck on a lost island in middle of the pacific. Most my LFS here have gone out of business or are on the brink of.
Die Zoobox ist schon ein toller Shop. Hier scheint es wirklich alles zu geben, was das Aquarianerherz begehrt. 😀
Germany has so many wonderful things 🇩🇪❤️ enjoy your visit
I love how healthy all the fish were. Would love to have a store like this in the states!
mzuel tetra aka red cherry tetra. It’s one of the newer hyphessobrycon coming out of brazil. I’ve purchased some from the Wet Spot :). If you want to see more, I’d recommend getting Amazonas Characins - New Brazilian Tetras. There are some absolutely stunning fish.
My favorite was the selection of hard scape that was available. I wish I had a store like that close by, I think I would never leave!!
So wish we all had access to shops like this one.
Awesome Store with so many options and new never seen items and Fish in America. Thankyou for sharing!
BRROOOOO WE NEED THAT LIVE FOOD SELECTION FRIDGE HERE IN THE STATES!!! Thats so AWESOME!! Another great video Cory! Appreciate everything you do big or small for this hobby a the average fish keeping hobbyist/breeder with a DREAM! 💯🤙🏼❤️👏😁
you should check out Artemia Farm Ronny Rein near Jena, East Germany. They own a little salty lake whith wild artemia of the best quality I ever bought. Compared to theirs, all other Artemia - alive or frozen - I ever bought look like skinny grey ghosts, these are realy rich and healty and no problem with posphat after feeding them. In summer you can also buy them alive but only in very big but cheap numbers of 10 Liters (2,5 Gallon) that look like more shrimps in it than water, you need to split them into several buckets, ceep them without technic in your garden and feed the algea with corn flover. You can feed a lot of fish with them without getting out of stock because they will reproduce very fast. They also sell nearly every common live fish food or frozen food in the best quality. The only thing I a little sorry about is that it´s not the native german type of artemia salina which must be very rare, these are the normal american artemia franziscana.
@@christinezwirtes148 that’s awesome! 😎
16:45 look behind the racks, they do feed a ton of artemia :D
Plant, pet and aquarium stores in Germany are awesome. They were fully up to speed on Amano style & technology twenty years before the US. They're still ahead of the US, really. In the US, you can mostly get what you want by ordering online, the US will never be close to Germany in the quality of their stores.
😂😂😂😂
Everyone is ahead of the US in terms of fish keeping. I always just laugh at dumb ignorant comments from Americans when Cory does videos in Asia. I'm Hong Kong-American and grew up with the aquarium hobby in both HK and California. Just head over to Cory's video he did in Hong Kong and look at the dumb comments. Americans don't even KNOW how far behind they are in the hobby that they think China doesn't know what they're doing, ya know... the place where the aquarium hobby STARTED a thousand years ago
Thanks for the Beethoven. My daughter played Minuet in G at a recital recently, so I've been hearing it for quite some time around the house. Now it's invading my fish videos.
Cory, I believe those red fish are Red Cherry Tetras if I'm not mistaken. Shoutout to Jason from PrimeTime Aquatics for the species profile. :) Love seeing these shops outside of the states and their glorious selections!! Cheers.
@SoleLifeMPLS You are not mistaken. Hyphessobrycon sp. “Muzel Red Cherry“. Muzel is the German word for Mussel.
I've seen the red cherry tetras in a local shop here in Honolulu. They are very beautiful and I would love to have a school of them but they cost $50 each!! Maybe when I win the lottery.
Awesome! thanks @@TheDutchMan83!
An incredible store that I'd just get lost in...lucky you Cory 😉 That dried shell at 21:48 you called a huge coconut looks like a Calabash. The shell when dried like that is often used as a kitchen utensil.
The pencil fish that luca loves is like a tiny salmon you see bears catch on nature programs ❤❤❤❤
LOVE the rocks and wood bins. Wish there was something like that locally!
Those tanks are amazing,they look so clean and the fish are incredible!
Great video and very informative. I love listening to your videos. I'm working on the night shift, and I put headphones in listening long aquarium videos.
The golden pleco at 17:00 was the Goldstaub Schilderwels which was priced at 1200 Euro.
I love this video super Germany just a great store enjoy your visit. Cory you one of the best😉
That "demon skull" wood looks like it's out of LOTR. Sauron or the witch king of Angmar lol
Those Plecos are amazing and the Leaf fish were way too cool!! ❤❤❤
Always fun checking out stores in other area. All beautiful
Always like an owner of a business such as you Cory going to other businesses/manufactures for product insight. Always looking for something to give a little R&D to a product to make it suitable for the American market. So many different products that are being utilized in different countries is so cool to see. Always will be jealous of the EU aquarium market. Thanks to you gives a lot more hope in our market!
I love watching Cory & Chris hanging out! Awesome Store! Awesome Tour!
Definitely worth showing thanks man!
We need more stores like that in the usa!!! I have to travel 30 minutes either way to get a local shop or local shop feel.
We lived in Germany back in 1980 and the pet / fish stores were amazing even back then. Always seemed to have any and everything you could want and be meticulously kept.
Fun to watch tks I love seeing what's in foreign tropical fish stores
26:18 thats silicone that you can use underwater too. Love Zoobox. In my opnion by far the best shop in Germany, although there is many super nice ones.
another cool store. sure wish we had them like that here.
Wow! All that hardscape. Awesome!
Looks like a cool shop! It should take me a little more than 2 hours to drive there. And cool they also have a row of JBL brine shrimp hatcheries which shows they're feeding their fish really well. I've got one of these, love it! I buy live foods at my lfs occasionally to give my fish a treat. Fish just love live foods very much.
Thanks for another great one your work is often a source of total joy and relaxation for an old fish keeper.🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Hey Cory! Was no one there for an interview? Zoobox is also very well known in Germany? Or was that not your intention at all? I would be interested (I'm from Germany) to know how the prices for fish and accessories compare to you in the States. Definitely nice video! Many greetings from Germany ✌
Still watching but putting the tanks on pallets is such a good idea. If you had tanks in your house and like rearranging things you could put your larger tanks on pallets and disguise it with some paint or add like a wood facade that could be easily removed. Looked online and a $300 pallet jack is rated for 5500lbs
Anyone else catch the GIGANTIC twig catfish at 17:50?
I bred twigs in the past...had adults 9 inches
Love the store, tanks and store very clean. Love it 😊
A True dream store. Thank you -
Wonderful scapes and fish and thanks for sharing and want to visit Germany sometime this year
There's also another red tetra- the red crystal tetra , Hyphessobrycon haraldschultzei,. Wet Spot has them. East Coast LFS back in the day sold live foods. Great tour! 23:28 23:28
We need stores with live food like that. I cant find black worms any where any more unless i pay a fortune.
Love how humble you are Cory, be great if you explore some of the top Aquarium shops here in the UK, be nice to know where those gems are 👍
Awesome tour, Cory! Can't wait to try that AC glue!
“Mega coconut” was probably a gourd. 👍
Hi Cory thanks for sharing this video ❤from🇦🇺
Zoobox is a great store, but even for Germany they tend to have more rare fish and the owner prouds himself with keeping the fish very healthy and feeds them a ton of live food too. They are a bit on the expensive side. I never had the chance to visit the store in person but I did order fish from them online, awesome stuff!
Looks amazing
Great video Corey, love the video tours like this!!
This is the kind of videos I like to thank you
Those red pencilfish are my ultimate dream fish!
What an amazing store and amazing video
OMG! The Red Muzel Tetra! Huzzah
Wish I had a store like this near me, it’s so beautiful!
I got a group of 9 black ruby barbs from dans fish a while ago, they are a beautiful fish!
Great editing like how the stylization is going 👍
Cory, very nice video. Thank you. 👍
👍🏻👍🏻incredible store
21:49 That's calabash gourd.
Hearing Cory calling fish BEEFCAKES! is the cutest thing I never knew I needed!! 😂✌️
Great store!
Mega coconut is some type of gourd (traditionally used to carry water) cut in half. In Hawaii also used to keep the beat in Hula.
Sir Cory, with much love and utmost respect, I think it might be time to renew your Amazonas subscription! 😅
Nice video! There is no place like that where I live. Amazing store!
I really like your view and comments on the Hobby in Germany/Europe! But if you ever want to meet the coolest and most likeable Dudes in the Hobby in Germany you have to visit in Erfurt/Thuringia the Aquaddicted Guys!
Exactly and they mention Cory from time to time in their videos 😅
Cory that pump thing is a dosing cap you squeeze your bottle to the right amount in the cup and pour it in your tank iv seen something like this for mouthwash reef doing ect
what kind of lighting are they using to get the reds to pop like that in the fish ?
It is totaly sick and totaly amazing.
I wonder what type of light they use to make the color on the fish brighter. They should tell the customer so that they can put the light in their tank. Great video!!!
I bought 2 of your pre-filter tube sponge filters there great. Also just started the easy green
What an amasing store, realy like theese vlogs
That's an amazing store! I'm jealous of the live foods! I would be building colonies of all sorts of worms.
The muzzle tetra is also a cherry tetra we get them over at fish planet in Chicago
Can wait to go to Germany in nov
Nice surprise😀
The tank at 5:22, what are those pink plants? Thise are incredible!
Hygrophila pinnatifida
@@ShadySheev thanks very much!
Can you please explain what a bubble ladder is? I am intrested never heard of it. Google seems to have nothing.
Man it woudl be so awesome to see some Apistos Blue Flames! Been lookign for those for such a long time. Unfortunately Canada its so hard to find them.
Wow 🤩
Great video
Heaven
Its a Red Cherry Tetra! Congrats on 1 million subscribers!
looks just like a dragon's skull . awesome
What are the fan looking things (black circles) on the inside of the tanks?
The red Muzel tetra has been around for a while at least here in the EU they do look even nicer mixed with the ordinary Lemon tretra, their kin so to speak. I hope you had a nice stay here in Europe!
What are they, and what were you doing with the lighting to show off rhe fishes colours???
Hyphessobrycon loretoensis are a new and beautiful red colot
How do you get the water so clear???
That driftwood looks like the with king of angmar
I love your video's! Do you purchase any of these fish and send them back to your store for breeding and sell them? I would love to see more breeding videos!
Devario is pretty common in Europe. Malabar danio.
I got an alert that this video was posted as I was driving home after trying unsuccessfully to find a mystery snail. No pet store (chain or LFS) near my home in Appalachia have any. I have to get pygmy corydoras special ordered for me because they're too "exotic" here. So jealous! I'd love to go to a real fish store like this one or Aquarium Co-op and buy healthy fish that are common everywhere but here.
Coryyy, next time you come to germany, can you bring some Expel P Fritz with you pleaseee? They don’t sell it here :(
Really cool but the prices are so expensive. Wow
It reminds me of krampus
